Argus Legal submitted a FOIA request to the Department of State for reports required under the Foreign Relations Authorization Act to be filed with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee annually pertaining to outstanding expropriation cases by Colombia. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request. When the agency failed to respond to the request within the statutory time limits, Argus Legal appealed the denial. That appeal was denied because the agency had not completed processing the request. Argus Legal then filed suit.Complaint issues: Failure to respond within statutory time limit, Litigation - Attorney's fees
